So along being a tortionaire, my former boss was also the tort-y kind. heureusement que le tort ne tue pas (that's what mortgage is for)

er...getting easily amused, too! ;)

So...is 'tortionaire' a real word? Or did you just make it up?

And yes, torts can kill. I think. Causing "wrongful death", I believe is the term. Don't know for sure -- haven't gotten there yet. :)

didn't make it up. "tortionnaire" exists. it's said of people specialized in "torture". une personne qui torture est un tortionnaire. (2 'n's).

Ah, ç'est pourquoi je ne pouvais pas le trouver dans le dictionnaire -- j'ai oublié le second 'n'. :-)

Et je crois que tous les ecrivains sont tortionnaires, parce que nous aimons torturer nos personnages. O:-)

alors là, je t'arrête!

il y a exception pour les écrivains. ce ne sont pas des tortionnaires mais "des personnes à l'imagination fertile et à la plume acérée"... partce que, être torturé fait partie du travail des "personnages".

still, it's been a while since I haven't been a writer ;p
